More Leaders Have Signed the Contract from America. Keep it Up!

Your phone calls are having a big impact! Thanks to your efforts, both Robert Pittenger (NC-09) and Bard Wenstrup (OH-2) have recently signed the Contract. But our work is not done!

Many of these candidates and elected officials have signed the contract because they were encouraged to do so by you! That's why we're asking you to call the following list of candidates and ask them to join us in signing the Contract from America.

When these leaders sign their names to a document like the Contract from America, they take it seriously. It's a commitment from them to stay true to our shared belief in individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.

Whether you have time to call just one person on this list, or if you can call them all today, please take a moment to do so right now. Thank you for your continued support

Best Wishes,

This Is Not Our Flag!

Recently, the Obama campaign sold a t-shirt depicting an American flag with the Obama logo replacing the 50 stars. This inappropriate depiction of our nation's flag perfectly summarizes the Obama administration's preference for propaganda over policy.

Four short years ago, then Senator Barack Obama called the debt accumulated under President Bush 'unpatriotic'. Now, four years later, he has accumulated debt faster than any one of his predecessors. So why the double standard?

For President Obama, propaganda and celebrity are far more important than executing fiscally responsible policies on behalf of the American people. The Contract from America will ensure that conservative fiscal policy is what drives our government. But to make this happen we need your help!

Ray Nations will present taxes imposed through Obamacare. He owns a Liberty Tax Service franchise since 2008 and has practiced accounting since 1982.

In July, Dr. Triepel discussed how Obamacare affects Doctor-Patient relationship and how it affects healthcare in general. Ray will discuss the taxes imduced by Health Care Act and how they'll affect us all.

America Needs Real Tax Reform!

Last week Mitt Romney stirred up controversy when he spoke about the 47% of working Americans who do not pay federal income taxes. While many people have different interpretations of what he meant, this comment highlights a far bigger problem which is the need for tax reform!

When all of you voted in putting together the Contract from America, you put tax reform as one of your top priorities for the country. This week tax reform took center stage in the national dialogue and has been the topic of much debate.

We need a tax code that is fairer and flatter for all working Americans. For too long a trend has continued that has created a tax culture where the few pay for the many. This has occurred due to large loopholes and a growing federal entitlement society.

Over the coming weeks, speak out and voice your support for the Contract from America and its call for tax reform. Our tax code will continue to be rigged until it becomes more fair, more flat and works for all Americans. Thank you! Together - we WILL take our great country back!

$3,000 Away From Our Goal!

Thank you! What a tremendous outpouring of support we've received this week to help build the online voting platform so Americans can vote on which Contract From America plank they want us to write legislation. If we raise $3,000 more, our goal of 1,000,000 Americans voting will be one step closer to realization!

Can you imagine: 1,000,000 people voting to tell all of us what part of the Contract's platform they want to see turned into legislation? What is most important in our lives? Defense of the Constitution, a Balanced Budget Amendment or maybe a flat tax? These are all very pressing issues but we will all find out together which issue people want legislative action on right now.

The only way we will find out is if we can raise the last $3,000 to build the voting platform that will enable you to voice your opinions in a secure and reliable manner.

Many legislators including Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Jim Demint, Gov. Nathan Deal, Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Tom Coburn, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Richard Mourdock and hundreds of other elected officials have signed the Contract From America. These patriotic Americans will hear the results of your vote and work passionately to pass our legislation. If you want a limited government in line with the Tea Party vision, let's raise the last $3,000 by the end of the day on Friday!

Together - we WILL take our great country back!

We Are Opening Online Voting...Again!

The Contract From America project began with online voting and we will continue using online voting because it is the most democratic way to decide something. So far over 500,000 Americans have voted online with Contract From America. We want to double that number to 1,000,000 people voting on the Contract From America!

Previously, people were voting on what to include in the actual Contract. Now we are going to open voting to decide on what the first piece of legislation the Contract From America's Legislative Writing Committee is going to write. We are thrilled to be using online voting again!

Will you vote for writing legislation to Protect the Constitution, Demand a Balanced Budget, Enact Fundamental Tax Reform or one of the other seven planks of the Contract? We will soon find out!

But before we can open up voting, we need to build a new voting platform that protects the integrity of the voting process.

With your donations we will speedily get a new online voting platform prepared so we can commence voting immediately. Once voting is complete and we know what issue we will be writing our first piece of legislation on, we will approach the appropriate Tea Party lawmakers to help and to sponsor.

Many legislators including Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Jim Demint, Gov. Nathan Deal, Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Tom Coburn, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Richard Mourdock and hundreds of other elected officials have signed the Contract From America. And we're positive that they will help us with our legislation as well.

Many of these terrific Tea Party champions have already been fighting in Congress for items on the Contract.

Ask These Leaders To Sign the Contract from America

Your phone calls are having a big impact - thank you for picking up the phone and asking these candidates to sign the Contract From America.

Many of these candidates and elected officials have signed the contract because they were invited by you. That's why we're asking you to call the following list of candidates and ask them to join us in signing the Contract from America.

When these leaders sign their names to a document like the Contract from America, they take it seriously. It's a commitment from them to stay true to our shared belief in individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.

Contract From America is forwarding this special message to you from our friends atTimPAC, Congressman Tim Scott's Leadership PAC. Sponsorships like this help us fight the battle to keep America free and elected officials responsible. All personal information of Contract From America subscribers is kept in strict confidence and never shared with sponsors. We appreciate your support. - Contract From America

Dear Conservative Friend,

A lot has been made of the Tea Party's role in this year's Presidential election. After sweeping new conservative leaders into Congress in 2010, the left is fearful - and the right is hopeful - that the Tea Party can do the same this year.

My name is Tim Scott and I am a Congressman from South Carolina. I am an outspoken Tea Party supporter, have appeared many times on Fox News this summer to discuss the Tea Party's importance and recently spoke at the Republican National Convention about America's path forward.

I know a little bit about the word, "Forward."

Growing up poor in a single parent household in North Charleston, South Carolina, I felt like I didn't have much going for me. But my mother, my mentor and the opportunity that America provided me allowed me to pull myself out of poverty and to make something of myself.

I was fortunate enough to speak at the Republican National Convention and you can watch my speech by following the image below. I do think you'll enjoy it. After watching it, please consider giving a small donation to my Leadership PAC so we can elect more Tea Party conservatives to Congress!

We all must remain focused on the goal: electing more conservative leaders to represent us in Washington!

TIM-PAC is and will continue to be on the front lines in the fight to support the leaders this country deserves, and it's because of patriots like you. Please join the fight by making a contribution today. Whether you can give $5 or $5,000, your support allows us to fight for our shared values of limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility.

Thank you,

Congressman Tim Scott

The Next Big Step For The Tea Party Is Here!

This is our largest project ever. Real change driven by you and us.

In 2009 over 500,000 Americans participated online by submitting and voting on thousands of policy positions that they wanted to see in the final version of the Contract From America. We, the Tea Party, took election cycle by storm!

Two years later over 500 candidates have signed the Contract From America, hundreds of media outlets have documented its impact and now we are setting up a Contract From America Legislative Writing Committee (LWC) to take all of your hard work and turn it into law. Don't you want to see the 10 planks of the Contract such as Protecting the Constitution, Demanding a Balanced Budget, Enacting Fundamental Tax Reform and more written into law?

And we need your help. We at the Contract From America have full time jobs during the day and we do not do this full time but the Legislative Writing Committee needs funds to get off the ground. Writing legislation is heavy stuff but we're determined to work with Congressional members and get the Contract initiatives passed into law. This is, after all, the reason we started the Contract.

Transparency: We have been completely transparent in everything that we do from the beginning, two years ago. Our online voting process was completely open for everyone to see and we keep you updated on all new signatures. The Contract IS your document and it reflects YOUR voting! We will continue to be transparent as we build the LWC by putting everything online and continually updating you on who is involved and what everyone is doing.

Commitment: We have full-time jobs but we've worked tirelessly to gain signatures, to hold elected officials accountable and to spread the word.

The Contract From America has the support it needs from elected officials and candidates so now let's turn this support into real legislation!

The Legislative Writing Committee will provide updates on progress with elected officials who are helping, the written legislation posted to our website, who will cosponsor and much more.

The unprecedented level of democratic engagement that led to the Contract from America will make this an historic year for the United States. Share this email with your friends, family, and social media followers and encourage them to join and donate if you too, want a limited Tea Party government!

In Freedom,
